Modeling of a Slotted MAC Protocol for MANETs
نویسنده
چکیده
Global positioning systems like GPS or GALLILEO will soon provide a very good timing accuracy, making possible the synchronization of nodes in a mobile ad hoc network (MANET). With this assumption, TDMA based MAC protocols can provide a very good utilization of the shared radio resources. This paper presents an analytical model for the performance evaluation of slotted MAC protocols with reservation for MANETs. A fully connected network is assumed and nodes generate a ON/OFF exponential traffic. The analysis is based on the study of a discrete time Markov chain. The methodology is applied to a recently proposed protocol, called CROMA [6], but can also be applied, with suitable modifications to any slotted protocol with reservation.

متن کاملModeling and Performance Evaluation of Energy Consumption in S-MAC Protocol Using Generalized Stochastic Petri Nets
One of the features of wireless sensor networks is that the nodes in this network have limited power sources. Therefore, assessment of energy consumption in these networks is very important. What has been common practice has been the use of traditional simulators to evaluate the energy consumption of the nodes in these networks. Simulators often have problems such as fluctuating output values i...
